NIH funding supporting the HMMER and Infernal software projects has been terminated. NIH states that our work, as well as all other federally funded research at Harvard, is of no benefit to the US.

Fantastic work led by @stevenjrobbins.bsky.social @ace-uq.bsky.social describing the most comprehensive (to date) microbial genomic resources from the Great Barrier Reef FINALLY, powered by @nanoporetech.com!

Not really my announcement to make--I am but a lesser co-author--but IQ-TREE 3 has just been released! (Most credit to Minh Bui and @roblanfear.bsky.social and their labs) ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

GTDB release 10 based on RefSeq 226 (R10-RS226) is live at gtdb.ecogenomic.org. This release covers 732,475 genomes (22% increase) and has 143,6141 species clusters (37% increase). Release notes at: forum.gtdb.ecogenomic.org/t/announcing.... Release statistics at: gtdb.ecogenomic.org/stats/r226.

On Twitter/X, @SciGuardians, ScienceGuardians, is promising to 'uncover' some big conspiracy of fraudulent @pubpeer.com users. But in reality, the account appears to be run by a disgruntled scientist with dozens of problematic papers. 🧵

We used Great Oxidation Event as a planet-sized "fossil" to add ancient dates to the Bacterial tree of life. @theconversation.com and @science.org articles show oxygen was used by non-cyanos before that cataclysm, surprisingly. theconversation.com/1-trillion-s... www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
